Leopold's Café

Leopold's Café Mumbai Reviews

The Leopold Cafe is a large and popular restaurant and bar on Colaba Causeway, in the Fort area of Mumbai, India, located across from the Colaba Police station.

It was one of the first sites attacked during the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. The cafe was mentioned extensively in the novel Shantaram.

Founded in 1871 by Iranis, it first started out as a wholesale oil store, and over the years has variously been a restaurant and store, and restaurant and pharmacy.Today it is a multi-cuisine restaurant with a bar on the first level, and serves cuisines like, Indian, Western, Chinese, South American, etc., and beer and alcohol.333 food items.

VERDICT- Good food,can easily go with a lighter pocket with food right from 50-60 to 300 RS.

Great draught beer - perfect in the hot afternoons - served with free cheeselings / peanuts too! They have a huge menu with everything from traditional Indian to Chinese and what-not! They also serve all varieties of fruit juices for the teetotallers.

I personally like the Chicken 3-in-one which is a huge plate with a plate of chicken-rice, a plate of chicken-noodles and 2 chicken-wings in honey-roasted sauce - its enough food for three moderate eaters OR two very-hungry-persons :) The Chicken Tikka is a good bet too. So are all the soups that you wouldnt mind sipping on in the evenings before a meal.

Hmmmm - well - this has been one of my favorite hangouts since the mid 90s - and I'd always eat here after a nite out at the movies. A typical dinner-for-two with beer costs between Rs.300 to Rs.500 (About €8 / $10). If you want to try their cocktails, you could also go upstairs where they have a cocktail bar - as well as the normal menu from downstairs.

Trivia: It is featured in the Duran Duran video 'Hungry like the Wolf'
